Re: yet another layer ?

Right I'm saying the definition of "operating systems" now encompasses the functions of a DE. It isn't a stretch to say that providing to developers easy access to multimedia, hardware, and an HTML viewer are functions of an operating system. I'm not saying that this somehow means that DE's need to be unportable and stuck on a kernel.

I mean, if you look at the functionality KDE provides they are often because on the other platforms Qt resides they are already provided by the OS.
